Every club has it's own thing, it's just natural that everyone evolves their own likes and dislikes. Seems to me that if we go by what clubs have been and still are running HFAY, you'll find out quickly that they have enough track to pull off 4WL events and also have wide-inside turns available.

With that said, the main struggle for our group is just keeping racers active. Some kind of points series may help with that but just getting people to even get set up to compete with just one car is a major thing for us. One guy even suggested thay we start acting like snobs and start telling newbies that "this is a really tough and refined scale of RC racing and if they want to ger involved they are on their own". That was said because all of my crew are just so friggin helpful and attentive to our newbies that maybe it just makes it too easy for them!

Sorry... rambling again.

Anyways, a 3 or 4WL series with 4 Wide Inside turns would work for us just fine. I think the biggest thing is just picking the most available classes for all possible racers. 70 turn stock is just more viable in my book because it's the one deal that covers every chassis out there. If we do go building a brushless series, I'd suggest a spec motor for the class, that way we can run the AMZs as well. I'm still all for keeping AWD available for use as well if we were to go to a brushless series.

Just some thoughts... not sure when the trigger is gonna be pulled on a new series but we'll keep watch!
